Exhibition on Annie Ernaux at the Humanities Library
The in-person and virtual exhibition of the Library wants to highlight the figure of the 2022 Nobel Prize for Literature, a writer who has developed a very personal style, which she combines with a tearing social critique.

Annie Ernaux (Lillebonne, September 1, 1940), wins the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2022 "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she discovers the roots, distances and collective limitations of personal memory" .
Her work, rich with twenty titles, takes the pulse of a society that she approaches from a radical woman's perspective. It is a literature in the first person that she defines as "auto-socio-biography", since it starts from its subjectivity to "identify, reveal the most general, collective mechanisms or phenomena.".
The exhibition covers Ernaux's literary career, including his feminist commitment, the translations of his work into the various languages of the state and the impact his readings have had on his life and his work.
You can visit the exhibition until the end of July.
Place of the exhibition: Sala de Revistes (Biblioteca d'Humanitats)
